Explore the evolution of salt making from the Goderich region to Onondaga and beyond, with clear explanations of geology and industry.
This book presents a practical view of how salt brines are found, tested, and turned into marketable products. It connects underground formations with real-world operations, showing how borings, rock layers, and historical wells shape thinking about the salt resources of Ontario and adjacent areas. The narrative also compares solar and boiled salt methods, and explains how industry uses chemistry to improve purity and efficiency.
Ideal for readers interested in geology, industrial history, and the science behind salt production.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the 1867 discovery of a rock-salt deposit near the town of Goderich in Ontario, Canada. Prior to this discovery, salt in Ontario and neighboring regions was produced through the evaporation of brine extracted from salt wells. The discovery of rock salt made the extraction of brine easier, less time-consuming, and more cost-effective than ever before. The author of this book was tasked with examining brine samples and overseeing the process by which the salt was extracted. He provides an in-depth analysis of the chemical composition of the brine, including a comparison to brine extracted from salt wells in New York and Michigan. The author also offers his insights and suggestions for refining the salt-making process employed at the time.
